Link to our animator to see the return migration of adult sockeye and Chinook salmon tagged in Cook Inlet, Alaska, 2013. These fish were double-tagged with internal acoustic tags and external disk tags. We tracked their movements with an acoustic array, but some fish have supplementary final locations supplied when their disk tags were recovered by the fishery. The data were used to identify species-specific differences in migration depth or other movement patterns that could assist with stock management.

ARRAY DEPLOYMENT

We pioneered the large-scale application of acoustic telemetry equipment in coastal ocean conditions, and to do so we have developed specialized equipment and techniques for the long-term deployment, operation and maintenance of acoustic arrays. We have seen enough poorly planned and executed deployments to know that Kintama’s extensive experience is invaluable when it comes to efficient, safe and economical deployment of arrays.

The coastal ocean is a hostile environment, and though we don’t claim to have the answer to every question that you or the ocean throw at us, we have a definite leg up on finding a quick answer thanks to where we’ve been and what we already know. No matter where you work, we can either provide a full service operation, including sourcing and deploying all the necessary equipment, or help you with certain parts of the process. And if you don’t know where to start, just give us a call
